Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A 2-disc compilation of his life's works........2004-09-01

There won't be much new for old and avid fans here: this gathers the best from Keita's works - but any newcomer to his voice and style will find BEST OF SALIF KEITA - THE GOLDEN VOICE an excellent collection profiling the traditional foundations of his West African Griot roots with influences form nearby regions.
ýA hard-hitting, diverse showcase suitable for the 'Golden Voice of Mali' himself.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Compilation/Intro. but redundant for most fans........2002-05-31

This is a 2 CD set: basically updating the Mansa retrospective album to include the 'best of' the subsequent Papa, Amen, & Folon albums. A wonderful introduction to Salif- but quite redundant to serious fans.

12. N F'i Fe *** Highly recommended are the Destiny of a Noble Outcast documentary on Salif, Soro- his first major album with ground-breaking synthesis of African & modern elements (& great drumming by Brice Wassy), & the odd Sosie - a collection of French pop chansons covers (which are surprisingly effective Africanized- great kora).
